This one is rough....but fucking listen to this!!

Wow, that's pretty SICK!! At first, thought it was monstrous hype--but they really do sound KICK ASS.

DLR and Eddie both seem in amazing form. Fuck, is this the late 70's/early 80's--what happened to the last 20+ years?!! :shocked: :xmasssanta:

Thanks for all the vids...

Romeo Delight....FULL SONG!

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been letting myself read set lists because I want to be completely surprised. However, I couldn't avoid reading a couple songs here and there, like I did here... but... ROMEO DELIGHT?!?!?!?! MOTHERFUCKING MOTHERFUCKER YES MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!! That song is SICK!

I'm not letting myself see the tour rehearsal vids... but it is really tough doing so.... but I see the reactions from them.... and I keep thinking there is no way I could be more pumped... but I am so fucking pumped right now, I'm about to explode... I better bring a couple changes of pants to these shows....

OK I couldn't help myself. I watched the Panama one and the Romeo Delight one.

My conclusions:

Michael Anthony will not cross my mind once when I'm at the two shows I'm going to (will be more if they add a 2nd leg)

Wolfie is going to kick ass... I was worried about how he'll look and act on stage but he'll be just fine.

Who the hell is Michael Anthony?

Classic Van Halen is back! I hope it's here to stay. It's powerful enough to.

Fuckin right he is...listen to him closely on Romeo Delight...tapping harmonics on the bass!

The kid is a fuckin natural!

I've been listening closely to him in these clips and he's really good.

P.S.

(that's Zak Wylde that Roth kicks off the stage at the beginning of Romeo)

Yeah, I heard his dad is a musician and can play pretty well, too. Must be some sort of family thing.

Don't forget Grandpa Van Halen. He was a bandleader. I think music just runs thru the Van Halen veins.

Don't Worry. I'd never forget about Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now.

I made a music video to that song for a school project once. It was pretty good if I do say so myself.

I'd actually like to see a bit more movement from Mr. Diamond Dave. During Pretty Woman he pretty much stood in place.

I want high leg kicks, coreographed little jumps forward together between Ed, Dave, and Wolf, and of course mid-air splits, even if they aren't full splits.

yeah well,those days are LONG gone

the dude's in his 50's...there's no way in hell he's jumping off that drum riser every night

Wait till you are in your 40's....you'll understand :tongue2: (trust me)

actually in some of the clips Dave's done some pretty high kicks..

(and that Pretty Woman clip was all about Dave and Wolf concentrating on harmonizing,which they did a mighty fine job of I must say!)

I wish they would do "Intruder" before "Pretty Woman". I love that song/jam.

Judging from the rehearsal vid's(thanks Zint), they sound great.

Some pet peeves(nothing major, I just like to bitch)

-Ed's jumps aren't as high as they used to be, but thats to be expected

-Ed's not wireless, which means he won't go onto the ramp into the crowd

-I didn't see a gong behind Alex, or did I miss it?

POSITIVES:-Once again, they sound great

-Wolfie's vocals are great

-Wolfie seems very comfortable on stage

-Alex is NOT wearing a neck brace

-Ed looks good on stage, although I'd like to see him wear a shirt, at least at the beginning of the show.

In 2004, he was shirtless the entire time.

Don't forget...those were rehearsals,in front of a handful of invited guests.

Wait till the energy of a sold out arena full of screaming maniacs hits them!!

And who knows...Ed just might pull a wireless out for a song or two and hit the ramps.

They might not have let all the cats out of the bag in front of those people,surely they knew that was going to hit youtube.

;)

True, that's a good point!

They do sound incredible, and I'm sure the energy of the (paying) crowd will really pump them up!

OK, now I feel better! ^_^

Word. So you are a little excited for the shows I presume? :P
